- A 20mm x 25mm non-resorbable barrier matrix is anatomically tailored for Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) and Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) in posterior (molar and premolar) jaw regions
Uses
- Posterior Site Grafting:
- Reconstructing bone architecture in the back of the mouth following molar or premolar extractions
- Particulate Graft Containment:
- Housing and anchoring bone graft materials to secure them against localized tissue shifting
- Ridge Augmentation:
- Creating sufficient vertical and horizontal bone volume to prepare a site for dental implant placement
- Dehiscence Defect Repair:
- Covering exposed implant threads or root surfaces where outer bone walls have degraded
Features
- Anatomical Posterior Dimensions:
- Specifically formatted to 20mm x 25mm to optimally span a single posterior missing tooth site without excessive trimming
- Internal Titanium Skeleton:
- An ultra-thin medical-grade titanium frame sandwiched between protective exterior layers
- Double-Sided Texturing:
- Both faces of the membrane are molded with a tactile, textured pattern to increase surface friction against surrounding tissue
- Multi-Layer ePTFE Design:
- Constructed with highly pure, passive expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) sheets
- Host-Tissue Isolation Grid:
- Designed with precise micro-porosity to filter out migrating cells based on cell size
Benefits
- Rigid Space Maintenance:
- The internal titanium reinforcement provides the mechanical stiffness needed to resist compression from overlying tongue and cheek muscles. It prevents the space from collapsing, giving bone cells a reliable chamber to grow
- Minimized Graft Migration:
- High-friction texturing grips the flap and underlying bone graft firmly. This eliminates micro-movements during early wound healing, which could otherwise cause the graft to transform into soft scar tissue
- Absolute Cell Exclusion:
- Acts as a strict physical block against fast-growing gingival soft tissue cells and oral bacteria, keeping them out of the bony defect. Meanwhile, it allows nutritional fluid exchange to sustain the underlying bone
- Predictable Healing Control:
- Because the ePTFE material is entirely non-resorbable, it will not degrade prematurely. Clinicians have complete control over how long the shield stays in place, ensuring slow-maturing posterior grafts mature fully
- Easy, Clean Removal:
- The integrated multi-layer matrix is highly resistant to tearing or delamination. When healing is complete, the entire structure can be unroofed and lifted out as a single piece
